Kevin P. Fleming<p>I'm interested in recommendations for free software tools, for Android, which can be used to produce a KML (or GPX) file dropping pins at various locations. I need to produce a file with coordinates of about 200 items (markers for a running course) in our little town, with descriptions of the type of marker at each location. If I could also store a photo attached to the pin, that would be a great bonus.</p><p>Any ideas?</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.km6g.us/tags/GPS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GPS</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.km6g.us/tags/KML" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>KML</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.km6g.us/tags/Android" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Android</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.km6g.us/tags/GPX" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GPX</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.km6g.us/tags/FOSS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FOSS</span></a></p>
